Turning while in a Backflip.

So I tried the searchbar and found a bunch of stuff but I couldn't find anything that sounds like my problem.

Whenever I do a backflip, I rotate 180 in the middle, do a frontflip, and land switch. I just wanna backflip. Any advice would be great on how to just stay straight throughout the flip. Thanks and I hope this is not that big of a repost.

you need to have a solid pop , push your hips forward arch your back and try to make your head touch your spine . if you over rotate , bring your feet to the back , if you under rotate grab your knees.

be carefull whit this trick.
easiest trick , but scariest

your turning in the air because your not looking straight back. As you set your flip DONT cheat and look over your shoulder to see the ground sooner. You must look straight back

You also may be throwing one side or arm harder than the other.  Make sure you throw each side of your body equally.
